Sorry, I'm joining this conversation late, but has anybody brought up JOVE?
It's a pretty good Emacs clone and it runs on 2.11bsd. If it can run under BSD
on a PDP11, it ought to be able to run under RSX!! :-)
Welcome to the party.
Yes, Jove was one of the first things I looked at, since I do use it
under 2BSD. However, porting that thing turned out to be hairier than a
monkey. It intentionally avoids using the C standard I/O library, with
the motivation that they wanted it to be portable. And they have
conditionals all over the code. Unfortunately, not based on features or
functionality available, but on OS. So you have lots of #ifdef msdos,
and whatnot, and if you have one function or behavior like msdos in one
place, you need to go in the code and add your conditionals there too,
as you obviously do not want to claim that you are msdos, since that
would pull in all the other msdos-specific parts as well, which you
probably do *not* want. :-)
And it is very Unix-centric, even if people have managed to port it
elsewhere.
